Copy and paste your code here.

here it is
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:gravity="center" android:background="#ffffff" andriod:orientation="vertical">
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/hello_world" android:textColor="#ff0000"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/click_button" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Click Me" />

LETS CONTINUE.... Android - User Interface (UI) Controls

User Interface simply means what you see on the screen.

A View is an object that draws something on the screen that the user can interact with and a ViewGroup is an object that holds other View (and ViewGroup) objects in order to define the layout of the user interface.

Layout(s) are defined in an XML file which offers a human-readable structure for the layout

In the main.xml file that was created on aide, ViewGroup is:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>

LinearLayout is a view group that aligns all children (view objects eg TextView) in a single direction, vertically or horizontally.

While View object is:
<TextView android:id="@+id/text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="I am a TextView" />

TextView is for showing text.

****************************************

There are a number of View objects provided by Android that allow you to build the user interface for your app.
For example: TextView, EditText, Button, ImageView etc.

In this tutorial, we'll be working with TextView & Button.

***************************************

TextView
This control is used to display text to the user.

Button
A button can be pressed, or clicked, to perform an action.

******************

A view object may have a unique ID assigned to it which will identify the View object uniquely within the View Group.
The syntax for an ID, inside an XML tag is − android:id="@+id/text_id". (Bolded in TextView code above)

LETS GET TO WORK...
In this tutorial, we will buid a simple app that shows a Text and a Button. When the button is clicked, a toast message would show on the screen.

EDIT MAIN.XML.... ADD BUTTON
By defult, there's a TextView already, simply add betton code uder... like this...

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center">

<TextView
android:text="@string/hello_world"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

<Button
android:id="@+id/click_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Click Me" />

</LinearLayout>

Check image below to see how your main.xml file should look now....

Let's add a background color...
Add this android:background="#ffffff" code to in <LinearLayout........

Also lets add color to our text....

Add this android:textColor="#ff0000" code to in <TextView........

Click menu and select Run.
Install app.

App background should be white. Text should be red and a button should be visible now.

Let me know if you got it right, so i'll continue.

A 90 year old man has been engulfed in sadness and languish after his mud house was destroyed by a caterpillar reportedly supervised by soldiers in , the country-home of Akwa Ibom governor Udom Emmanuel.

The details surrounding the bulldozing of the thatched house which is very close to the governor's residence -is still sketchy but according to reports by the Guide citizen, the aged man who has been crying over the loss of his house is now squatting on the veranda of one of the churches in Awa iman in Onna Local Government.

Source; http://www.nationalhelm.net/2016/07/old-man-laments-after-his-house-close.html

ohh my God I can't believe this, you knw am from awa iman, and I know this man personally, he sews cloth at the front of his house before this happened, i used to personally help bring out his sewing machine... i was there two weeks ago... the house was intact, I can't believe this... my grandfather's house is just behind this one, I Hope the haven't reached there...this is unfortunate...

for me its been since last year beginning, and I haven't received any SMS from nimc to come collect the card.
the major problem is that banks have rejected the temporary Nin slip that we received.
its been long I don't know what is happening with them.
please has anyone received his/her e-id cards? how did you go about it...

no its not sex, how?; well remembere after God created Adam and Eve, he told them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
now that was God's command to Adam and eve, so if the forbidden fruit was sex, God wouldn't have told them to do so..HOW CAN YOU MUITIPLY WITHOUT HAVING SEX

Most us likes smartphones and always goes for the best and latest in town but the question to answers is how much are you willing to pay for a smartphone or do you have limitation even off you have the money.

While surfing today i saw that the new Samsung Galaxy S7 edge cost nothing less than N190,000- N240,000 to acquire just one smartphone and there are phones that is even more expensive then the S7 but the question is can you really buy a phone above 200k in Nigeria.

When i saw the price of Samsung galaxy s7 i just asked my self how many people can really afford this smartphone in Nigeria, but am sure many can and will buy it. The truth is that those expensive phones is not a phone but something more you can check the full specification of Samsung galaxy s7 here to see how powerful the phone are.

I have twice used an expensive smartphones and have come to a conclusion that a smartphone is not just about making or answering calls but a fun. Finally we are know that better soup na money make am but how much are you willing to spend for that soup? can you spend at least N180,000 to buy Samsung Galaxy S7 edge or any other smartphone?
let me have your own opinion.

nigerianvenom:
I have them as friends, lived with them and even during secondary school, as a boarding student, I use to attend their studies.
My uncle has more awake and watchtower including their hymns tape than even a devout jw member.
My ex gf was a jw, so no one will tell me what I don't know about them.
They are hypocrites

have you met all 8,000,000 of jw to knw that they are hypocrites?..does two bad apple in a basketful of apples mean the whole apple is bad...tell me who you know that's not a hypocrite one way or the other..

Yagazee:
Lol! Well youths of other churches no get time to dey waka dey knock from door to door. I hail una. U guys should keep it up.

as a Christian it's an obligation to share the good news to others...

Yagazee:
my brother this guys dey preach everywhere. Even as maiduguri no good I dey see them for some areas sha. I shoch when we World Universities Games at Korea, them plenty there with the same books wey dem dey carry.

we jw numbers only 8million in the world, we're not perfect, we make mistake like humans, buh I have never ever..ever seen people so selfless and caring..like jw, some people here are saying dey dey don't open doors this...and that..they keep rejecting the truth.. jw helped me change my life for good...if not for them I'd probably be or in jail or worse...we don't preach because of any benefits to ourselves... is to help others who are lost, confused and afraid just like Jesus and his deciples did..we are like mtn everywhere you go...

3. Turn your Phone Off When You Get Into The Car This should be a law. I’m waiting for the day that it is. Just as in an aircraft you are asked to power off your electronic devices and cell phones, this should be the law of the road. It is impossible for your mind to be at two places at once. It is a law of physics: no one thing can occupy the same space at the same time, and if your mind and eyes are on your phone, they are not on the road. Driving is one of those places where you do not want to mess around. Sometimes I hear the excuse “Well, I need my phone for directions, my GPS is on it.” To that I say: what did people do five years ago? You would carefully map out your route before you left the house, or you would pull off to the side of the road as you looked at a map. The same rule should apply today. When driving— close off your phone so that you are not even tempted to look at it. Your life and other people’s lives are at stake.
4. Get Real When you are with a real life person sharing a conversation, a meal, or a cup of coffee, they are a real life form. A real person right there in front of you to engage with. Are you telling me that your virtual friends and virtual text conversations are more important than the real life person in front of you? Not only is this THE rudest thing on the planet, but it breaks down friendships and can ruin relationships. Even if you say to a friend “Oh I just need to check that,” They may respond “Oh, that’s OK.” But the truth is it’s not OK. What you are saying is that the virtual message is more important than them. They have taken time out of their busy life to meet with you, and share real life time with you. By turning your attention away from them you are inevitably saying “You are not as important.” It’s really a sickness that we are so addicted to our phones that we ignore the people we are with to hang out with virtual people over Facebook, Twitter, and text messages. Come on people—it’s time to get real.
5. Don’t Lose Sleep Over It If you find yourself up late at night playing on your phone, whether it is video games, Facebook, or text messaging, you are losing precious sleep over your addiction. The moment you stop putting energy into caring for your basic needs and pour your time and energy into your phone, you are allowing the phone to dictate your health and well- being. If you catch yourself in this scenario, my advice is to power off your phone an hour before bed time to ensure that your last hour is spent in a meaningful way, and that you get to bed on time to start the next day afresh. Your phone is just not worth losing sleep over.

An addiction is when the thing
you are addicted to begins to
control your life and interferes
with your daily activities, work,
and relationships. The classical
definition of an alcoholic is
someone who wakes up to a
glass of vodka instead of a cup
of coffee. But with the boom of
technology, the signs of
addiction can also be found in
other places besides the bottom
of a glass, it can also be found
in the form of cell phones.
If you find yourself checking
your phone first thing in the
morning—before even getting
out of bed, you may be
addicted. If you find you’re
text-messaging while driving,
checking your phone instead of
working on an important
assignment, or checking
Facebook during a romantically
dinner—your phone is
interfering with your life and
you are addicted.
Are missing out on living a
fulfilled and rich life because
you’re constantly staring at
your cell phone?
Here are five tips to manage
your phone addiction.


1. The first 30 minutes of
your day

If you find yourself waking up
in the morning reaching to
check in with your phone
before you even got out of bed,
this is a serious problem. The
first 30 minutes upon
awakening should be dedicated
to creating a good start to your
day. This means getting out of
bed, freshening up, taking 5
minutes to meditate and stretch
and preparing a healthy
breakfast. Start your day doing
healthy, positive things to build
your inner fortitude to take on
the day ahead.

2. Create No-Phone Time
Zones
The truth of the matter is
having a cell phone close by at
work is common, and
sometimes even required.
Whether the ding of your phone
is work-related or not—that
specific phone alert is rarely
related to the current work at
hand. If you are constantly
getting distracted by your
phone going off—you won’t
remain focused on the work in
front of you, decreasing
productivity. Therefore, I
advocate for creating a no-
phone time-zone. This means
that for at least 2 hours of your
day(when you’re most
productive work happens) you
close off your phone and stay
completely dedicated to the
work in front of you.
